Stepping Out!

Happy Happy Friday! Time to get your life right for whatever the weekend will bring. You ready? I know I am. I’ve had back to back days off from work and I must say I feel so rejuvenated! I have all this energy to do so much, but the only problem is I have no idea what to do. For the time being we’re going to talk a little about how I’ve stepped out of my shopping comfort zone.

A few years ago, I would only shop at my job (Fashion To Figure). It was extremely convenient and in the budget (Shoutout to the employee discount). If you look at my closet today, you will see majority of FTF floating around and overflowing on my hangers. I was loyal and true to what I knew, my safe haven. But the moment that I quit, I felt the need to step out and try a few new stores. Yes, department store are always or sometimes a win, but I knew that I wanted something different.

Working in a mall really can help with this new desire to step out, but I honestly didn’t know where to start. As you know from the previous post, Treat Yo Self: Xavier Omär I went to Zara and found myself a few pieces that I could actually fit. The tan dress is now a favorite, but this white T-Shirt dress also took the cake.

At first I was skeptical because I didn’t think it was going to be long enough, but I’m glad it is.

Am I happy with this dress? UUUHHHH YEAH!

These recently purchases have shown me that I am no limited to just one store. I’m able to step out and see what else these other stores might have for me. Online shopping will forever be one of my favorite things, but it has nothing on going in the store and trying on the clothes for yourself. Relying on models to show you how it “might” fit on you, will never truly be my cup of tea.

Walking out of a store with bags because you know it fits and it was right in the budget will always be a great feeling. When you’re going shopping, that’s how it should be, stressless and fun.

What are some of your new favorite stores to shop in? You know I’m definitely going to put Zara right at the top. I’m still on a hunt for a few more gems that I feel good to shop in soooooo, if you have any more suggestions of new places to shop…SEND THEM MY WAY! I’m ready to start somewhere new and if you’re in the same boat, you should too!
